SETTING UP ADVANCED RELAY OUTPUT

Relays work much like switches. When triggered, relays can activate external devices such as sirens, light fixtures, and door locks. The DX8100
Series DVR allows Administrators and Power users to link relays to cameras and alarms. Up to 20 seconds of delay can be set from the moment
an event is triggered to the time when a relay is activated.
Make sure you have linked relays to the appropriate cameras and alarm inputs before attempting to configure them. For instructions on linking
alarms and relays, refer to Linking Alarm Inputs to a Camera and Linking Relay Outputs to Alarm Inputs.
